From Melanocytes to Melanoma: The Progression to Malignancy

Editat de Vincent J. Hearing, Stanley P. L. Leong
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 dec 2005
Leading researchers and clinicians join forces to explain how malignant melanoma develops from its benign precursor cell type. The authors focus on the molecular mechanisms involved in melanogenesis, in the malignant transformation of melanocytes, and in the further progression of primary melanomas into invasive and metastatic melanomas. They also review recent advances in our understanding of the basic biology of melanocytes and the development, migration, and differentiation of melanoblasts into melanocytes. The book provides an up-to-date understanding of the progressive mechanisms of oncological development in malignant melanoma, a likely model of malignant progress for other types of cancer, and the ongoing development of novel therapeutics.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"...this compendium of current thinking is recommended reading for anyone with an interest in pigmentation and cancer and a valuable resource for any library." -Melanoma Research
"This book, the first of its kind on melanoma, details the current state of our knowledge … . should be viewed as an important resource for understanding the broad field of melanocyte and melanoma biology. Newcomers to the field … will find this book extremely useful. … This book captures the tremendous progress made in the field … . It is a valuable resource for biologists and basic scientists … as well as for pathologists; dermatologists, surgeons, and medical oncologists … ." (Lynn M. Schuchter, The New England Journal of Medicine, March, 2007)
"...captures the tremendous progress made in the field...will help to propel the field to new successes...a valuable resource for biologists and basic scientists interested in the biology of pigment cells as well as for pathologists, dermatologists, surgeons, and medical oncologists interested in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma." -New England Journal of Medicine
"The editors have compiled a highly prestigious group of authors, who are leaders in the field of melanocyte and melanoma research, to present a very comprehensive exposition of the current knowledge of melanocyte biology and melanoma. … As a clinical researcher, I found … it fascinating, yielding a tremendous appreciation for the meticulous and extensive work that has been done to date, some of which has and more of which will very likely provide leads to clinical interventions." (Janice P. Dutcher, Medical Oncology, Vol. 23 (3), 2006)
"An extremely detailed book on each of the various pathways, growth factors, and oncogenes affecting the melanocyte. This is a comprehensive review and … physicians such as dermatologists, pathologists, and oncologists will find it helpful. It is very thorough in itspresentation of cellular events … . This book will serve primarily as a reference for basic scientists and biologists. Physician scientists will also use the book. Clinicians may find the book highly detailed, with more information then they require." (Mary C. Martini, Doody’s Review Service, July, 2006)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Melanoma offers an excellent model for cancer biology and an opportunity to understand the progression of a normal skin cell-the melanocyte-to malignancy. In From Melanocytes to Melanoma: The Progression to Malignancy, leading researchers and clinicians join forces to explain how skin cancer develops from its benign precursor cell type. The authors focus on the molecular mechanisms involved in melanogenesis, the malignant transformation of melanocytes, and the further progression of primary melanomas into invasive and metastatic melanomas. They also review recent advances in our understanding of the basic biology of melanocytes and the development, migration, and differentiation of melanoblasts into melanocytes. The text is augmented by four color plates.
Comprehensive and illuminating, From Melanocytes to Melanoma: The Progression to Malignancy, provides pathologists, dermatologists, surgeons, and medical oncologists with an up-to-date understanding of the progressive mechanisms of oncological development in malignant melanoma, a likely model of malignant progress for other types of cancer, and the ongoing development of novel therapeutics.
